Spa Creek Conservancy, Inc

Kids on the Creek provides a day of free family activities on Spa Creek and along the shoreline. Kids and families learn about and gain an appreciation for the Spa Creek watershed by participating in watershed scavenger hunts, fish seining and identification, environmental education demonstrations, boat rides, paddle boarding and kayaking. All communities in the Annapolis area are invited and welcomed but our target audience is those who have no access to the creek or its activities.

The Spa Creek Conservancy offers businesses and organizations along the Spa Creek Watershed membership in the Spa Creek Stewardship Program. Through this program, members can dramatically and positively influence the water quality of Spa Creek and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. Resources provided by the Spa Creek Conservancy include:

The Spa Creek Conservancy seeks to restore the health of Spa Creek, from the headwaters in commercial business districts to residential shorelines. Strategies include restoration, creation of living shorelines, stormwater mitigation, replenishment of oyster beds and fisheries, citizen engagement for monitoring and preservation and interventions that incorporate best practices. With grants from public and private organizations, the Spa Creek Conservancy works tirelessly to clean up Spa Creek directly, lending the expertise of its volunteers to support similar efforts by schools, residents and businesses throughout the Spa Creek watershed.
